Running lights won't go off

[scottfwalter]

Just picked up my BL and the running lights won't turn off. Any ideas?

Its the round outer ring light and the horizontal bar light. I'm assuming those are considered to be the running lights. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Go to your touch screen, go to settings,lights,day time run lites set to 10 sec .should work for you.

I did set the 10 sec option. I don't know if that setting is meant for the daytime running lights or the headlights. It didn't seem to affect the running lights.

The daytime running lights did eventually go off but took around 15 minutes. I have to go to the dealer tomorrow and I'll ask them about it. My right front blinker is not working. When using the turn signal to turn right the blinker is a lot faster than the left side. I would have thought the dealer would have run thru a safety checklist before releasing the car. Hopefully, it's just a fuse or bulb issue.

A bit of an update. I took my BL to the dealer today so they could take a look at my blinker issue. They said it was a burned out bulb and they replaced it and the blinker was working while at the dealer.

I’ve been drove off used my right blinker a few times and no issues but then the fast blinking came back. I stopped off and sure enough the same blinker light is out again. I returned to the dealer and now they have my car over the weekend because they are ordering a brand new replacement light.

I sure hope the replacement light will resolve the issue and I don’t have a deeper electrical issue.

I wish Ford would’ve had done a little more testing on my vehicle before they shipped it out.

Did you find out what was the issue with the daytime running lights? I have the same issue with them (the horizontal line lights). They wouldn't go off sometimes and my car is parked on the street. If they wouldn't turn off after the set delay I would have to go back to the car and open the door and reclose it to make them turn off. I finally just changed the settings to turn off when the car turns off.

At the same time, I had an issue with my front passenger blinker not working. They replaced the whole headlamp assembly and both issues went away. I guess I had some sort of wiring issue.

Same issue (horizontal front light) except turning the lights off doesn't turn them off. They stay on for 8-10 minutes unless I pop the hood and unplug one of them. I thought I heard something about a recall for the 22-24s, (perhaps on another post) but not the 21s which I have

Same issue on my 21 BB, usually 8-10 minutes the horizontal bar remains lit

Was there a charge for this repair?

I have the Ford ESP, so it was covered.

If you are out of warranty I think the bill was $540.00 or so.

Not enough draw on the battery for me to shell out that kind of cash
